AYF Cheer Season is Upon Me!

I offered to be the Redskins Senior Assistant Cheer Coach for this years season. The Head coach last year said she was going to do it, so I thought all was well! SO... I was a little surprised to find out that she decided not to do it. Now I am the Head Coach for these girls! I am nervous and worried as I do NOT have any cheer experience other than yelling from the stands! So far, I have five girls and they are all great! I am excited and I am looking forward to this years season!

Any of you guys out there that know me locally and can help... Please give me a call!

On another note... School is just around the corner!

A lot on my mind

Nick has been on my mind a lot since I found out he took his own life last week. My Girl Scout troop had been planning a big trip to Anchorage the weekend his service was scheduled, so I wasn't able to attend. I just keep thinking over and over again about his parents and the lack of any clues he displayed in the classes we had together. As morbid as it is, I want more details; I want to know how he did it. Mostly, because as a parent, maybe knowing more will help me prevent my kids from doing the same thing. I also appreciate that even if I did know every detail, it will not bring me peace with this loss. I wasn't close to Nick at all, we barely spoke. But he was very much the kind of person, the kind of man, I felt should be in education. A role model for my own son. He will be missed.
